Walking today with 250 lunges. 

In talking with my dad today, he suggested that maybe my knee problems are coming from shoes being worn out.  He suggested running in my newest ones for a few runs instead of switching back and forth to see if that is what the problem is.  I will try it tomorrow.

After one run it looks like my dad could be right once again (go figure).  Anyway, I kept a good steady pace and my knee felt great.  I wore my newest pair of shoes and will again next time I run.  

That is no good for my pocket book, being as I havent put too many miles on my shoes.  I am going to have to get a sign that says will work for shoes. 

Another 4 miles of walking tonight with Paula.  It was beautiful, I think the temp said 60.  Good walk and good concersation.

Walking with 250 lunges.  I have to open at work this morning so that is all I had time for.  

Another 3 miles with my mom and daughter this afternoon.  We walked to Classic Sports and back.  It was a beautiful day again.

Running today.  Out to the Laverkin stake center and back.  I felt sluggish for the first part, but felt like I finished stronger.  I have been eating before running the last few months but I didnt today and definately felt a difference.  

My knee felt a bit awkward for the first few steps but quickly felt better.  I hope it continues to  get better.  Looks like I will retire even more shoes.  That is depressing.

Today, I ran the route that Paula and I walk.  Its a loop out in Laverkin.  

I walked the first 1/2 block, just to warm up my knee a bit then started running.  Again, it was uncomfy for another block or something, but then I didnt feel it again the rest run.  

I have been talking to a few people about it and trying to come up with things I could try to get it  all the way better.  My boss said yesterday to try running in a non posted shoe to see if I have to much stability with both my orthotics and my posted shoes.  To me, that could make sense, but then again, I know nothing.  Anyway, I think I will give it a try.  Might as well.

I just realized today that I have barely over a month to be ready for the Hurricane 1/2.  Gotta get a move on training or I will really be hurt.
